(not related with this argument but related to future NASA spaceflights)

I think that a (small SM, TEI-only) Orion is like a (single purpose) “CorkScrew”, while, a (big SM, multi purpose) Orion may be the “SwissKnife” of space exploration since it can perform autonomous (manned and unmanned) missions also without the LSAM.

I explain my opinion in details (with a curious image and a list of TEN advantages of the bigSM Orion) in my latest article [ “CorkScrew Orion or SwissKnife Orion?” ] here: http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/014swissCEV.html
